Huma Chia Energy Gel, Mangoes, 24 Count, 1.5 Ounce

Customer Reviews

Gave me energy & tastes great!Absolutely impressed with Huma gels!! I was doing a 10 mile run and losing mojo about 5 miles in and my friend gave me one of her gels and I felt so much better!! They did not bother my stomach at all either. Next I was doing a 15k and same thing I pulled out a gel and sure enough I started to feel better and have energy!!! So now I know the product worked and wasn t a fluke!! Now every longer run I do, I take one half way thru and it perks me right up! I am trying to get my run store to carry Huma now!! Buy these gels! They taste great, easy to consume, and they really work!!! I am buying my 2nd box now, I don t run without them! :) 5BEST VEGAN ENERGY GEL! AND NO MALTODEXTRIN! THANK YOU!!!I came across Huma Gels when searching for a plant based vegan energy gel for my runs or hikes. I bought it because I loved the ingredients and the fact that it did NOT have maltodextrin. When I tried them, i was pleasantly surprised that they did not taste like any other gels, they were not thick and didn't have that carnauba wax feeling that most gels out there have. It actually tastes like chia seeds that have gelatinized naturally. I AM SO IMPRESSED BY THE NATURAL TASTES AND NOT FAKE ARTIFICIAL TASTES! When the company emailed me, I learned they are started by Veteran's. I just wanted to thank them FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for making the best gels EVER!!! 5These works well and I was able to cut 30 minutes off my best half-marathon time using these gels (along with better training ..I never had much luck with energy gels. I also don't drink caffeine so I was a little apprehensive about this. When I heard about the benefits of Chia seeds, I decided to give these a try for when I'm backcountry hiking or when I'm doing distance runs. These works well and I was able to cut 30 minutes off my best half-marathon time using these gels (along with better training techniques). I gave them a 4 instead of 5 because the texture isn't always consistent. My previous order was thicker and more gel like. This most recent batch was runnier and didn't seem to congeal the way I like. If they were easier to find locally, I would buy them when I could handle them and confirm the thickness. Unfortunately, the only shops in town that carry this brand always seem to be out of the chocolate, so I order from Amazon. I'll keep using them, but I hope they become more consistent. 4BEST ENERGY GEL! You will NOT be disappointed!I ordered these after doing a lot of research about energy gels and struggling to find one that works, sits well in my stomach, tastes good and the right consistency! I am an avid runner and take part in many marathons and other race distances. I have struggled to find an all-natural gel that sat well in my stomach tastes good and that actually works but Huma Gel is all of those things! The flavors are delicious! My sensitive stomach when working out and competing handles these just fine. The consistency is amazing and goes down very smoothly and the best part I know it actually works and is all natural! I feel so much better after taking these whether it's on runs, races, or even long hikes (9 mile hike in 85 degrees in Bryce Canyon). Huma Gel helped me run a 3:13 marathon last spring as well! Huma Gel has came to my rescue many times and I have found my product that I will continue to use for years to come! 5Highly Recommend!Huma gels are the only gels that I will use for fueling my running. I have gone through much trial and error, starting with Sports Beans to using "heavier" gels, and have finally found the right product for me with Huma. Due to the chia seeds, Huma gels are easier on my stomach, eliminating stomach and GI distress, which is so important on longer training runs and during races. I was worried at first as to whether this product would give me the same energy boost as other gels, but this concern was unfounded. The answer to that question is a resounding, "Yes!" Huma offers gels with and without caffeine, and the flavors really do taste pleasing. I would highly recommend this product to all runners and any athlete, for that matter! 5Tasty, easy to digest energy!As a runner and triathlete, I have been using Huma Gels for about 3 years now. I switched to Huma when my previous gel brand started giving me stomach cramps. Huma s simple ingredients cause zero GI discomfort. The get the job done by delivering easily utilized calories during endurance events. I use the Huma PLUS gels especially in the summer when I m losing more electrolytes through sweating. This year I started using the XL sized Huma gels during my 3-4+ hour bike rides while training for a Half Ironman. A single gel in a larger size was more convenient to carry, knowing I d be taking in a fair amount of calories over a long workout like that. The top of the XL almost acts like a straw, making the gels easier to consume while moving. 5Kids say, "it tastes like frosting." :-(It's full of natural ingredients but it's hard to get down during a run. It's simply too sweet for me. My kids loved the chocolate flavor agreeing that, "it tastes like frosting!" And after they mentioned it, I think that all the flavors would be better served on top of a bran muffin than directly from the pouch. But that's just my opinion. Unfortunately, we ended up throwing out most of the variety pack because nobody would touch them.For what it's worth, I've used many different energy products while competing in marathons and obstacle races and the flavors in this one are much too concentrated. 2Truly natural and great!I ordered these because I decided that if I'm going to avoid foods that are highly processed and not organic,then I needed to examine my sport supplements while training for a half marathon. I love these better than Gu! I know what's in them, there is just enough caffeine, and they taste better too.The texture took a bit to get used to. The chocolate one reminds me of brownie batter which you may not want during a race but was perfect to start a 10 mile run. They all taste a little gritty...maybe from the chia seeds?Flavor is exactly as you expect. Blueberry tastes like natural blueberries, not overly sweet or medicinal in flavor. Because there are few ingredients these taste just as labeled so if you don't like mangoes then you won't like this.The caffeine is in some of them but not all which is good and bad. The flavors that do have caffeine do not have a ton. If you're favorite Gu is the Triple Chocolate Espresso then you will be disappointed in these. However, if you have been diligent about training and want fuel on the run that won't upset your stomach or make you jittery then try these.I'm glad I ordered these. The results are not as intense as some other gels, but I'm also not concerned about investing toxins with these either. The variety pack is nice and so is the price. 5My Absolutely Go-to GelI was first introduce to Huma Gel a few months ago when I was looking to make a switch to a gel with real food ingredients. Another whole food plant based runner suggested that I give Huma a try. And I'm so glad that I did!The ingredients are very simple. Here is what is in the strawberry flavor:Strawberry puree, evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup, filtered water, milled chia seeds, strawberry concentrate, sea salt, citric acidTo compare, here are the ingredients in TriBerry flavored Gu: Maltodextrin, Water, Fructose, Leucine, Natural & Artificial Flavor, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Calcium Carbonate, Valine, Sea Salt, Green Tea (Leaf) Extract (Contains Caffeine), Malic Acid, Gellan Gum, Isoleucine, Sunflower Oil, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative).I have tried all of the flavors and love them all. That's the exact reason I order the variety pack.I also like the texture of these gels. They have an actually texture to them and are not just, a friend says "like runny snot".Finally they digest great. I've been using them for several months now and have never had any gut issues.I'm currently training to complete 7 marathons in 7 months in 7 states and you can bet that Huma Gel will be with me the entire way! 5You must drink water with this, according to the package.The package states that you must drink water with this. I did not find this info anywhere in the product description, otherwise I would not have purchased. The type of racing that I do makes drinking water nearly impossible. Company will not accept a return for their lack of information. Stuck with a product that I can t use. 1
